An illegal explosives factory has been found inside the headquarter of the Dera Sacha Sauda premises in Sirsa, after forces continued search operation for the second day on Saturday.

The premises of the dera, whose chief Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh was jailed for 20 years in two rape cases last month is undergoing a search and sanitisation process. The forensic team from Roorkee is expected to arrive at the Dera premises later in the day to analyse these skeletons. All weapons of the Dera and individuals inside (the premises) have been deposited with the authorities.

The sanitising operations are still ongoing, with a 1000 paramilitary troops on the Dera premises, under the supervision of former judge, AKS Pawar.

Two key functionaries of Dera Sacha Sauda were also arrested on Friday for allegedly inciting violence in Panchkula.

The dera chief, who featured in a few films directed and co-produced by himself, also has some shops in the complex where consumer products launched two years ago under "MSG" brand were sold.

Earlier, five Haryana policemen, who were part of Ram Rahim's security when he travelled from Sirsa to the CBI court on August 25, were charged with sedition and dismissed from service over the alleged conspiracy to help him escape.

If left alone without security, the Dera chief can be murdered, says an inmate out on bail.
